iOS 14 brings many advantages, and as one my previous articles points out, some surprises! As a friend noted, here’s a new one sneaking in through the privacy filters…
Apple have introduced a “Precise Location” switch to all apps where location is used, meaning that there are two potential locations being sent to an app, depending on the switch.… Continue Reading
I love these Spicy Noods and they’re so healthy, the recipe is mine – influenced by the basic flavours of Singapore Noodles, but with an Indian slant, plus some Spanish smoke from the Pimentón 🙂 Cooking a batch on the weekend means a healthy spicy lunch to keep you going through the week.… Continue Reading
You’re not on your own. #sigh.
Apple have introduced a security-anti-tracking system with all the best intentions, however in doing so broke every existing connection to secure wifi networks where MAC address access is enforced.
In non-geek – every device has a unique code (mac), and in some cases it’s taken into account as part of authentication when connecting to a network with a usual username / password / token.… Continue Reading
What bright fucking spark had the idea of one way systems inside buildings?
Seriously, I want to know – the dumbest element of humanity has a new king!
If you’re a planner, consider the following as examples where this is a complete fail:
In a pub or shop or shopping-centre / mall where the walk-way is narrow, and by narrow, I mean comfortable for two people to walk side-by-side.… Continue Reading
So… We’re in local lockdown again due to the mismanagement of the country by the government. Everyone is using click and collect, or delivery – it should be a well oiled machine now – well #Tesco managed to fuck this all up royally. This is my recent experience, and my opinion:
Turn up for a two hour slot, I was a few minutes early.… Continue Reading

NSFW! (Lots of swearing!) There have been loads of these types of articles drifting around the interwebs recently, however I feel they’ve all lacked a certain guttural directness, and have overlooked the darker side of the colloquial language used in the UK.
Remember real-life, you know, physically leaving your home to go shopping? Walking into a retail store, not queuing, not trying to win at “you’re it”? It seems forever ago. Is the new reality of not going shopping here to stay – are we all going to be even more reliant on delivery services? … Continue Reading
❤ Chana Masala!
This is one of the cheapest side or main dishes to make, it’s quick, easy, and very tasty to boot. This whole recipe would cost under three pounds, or in American terms (Assuming approximately the same pricing) $3.50. I liked my latest batch so much I ended up eating it cold with some tortilla chips 🙂
This is also ideal for #lockdown cooking in any well stocked kitchen!… Continue Reading
We’re in lockdown. It sucks. No waffling: Here is my hand chosen list of 80’s movies to watch during the #lockdown! Love ’em, or Hate ’em, they’re the 80’s in a nutshell 🙂
This is a down and double dirty rice – flavour wise it has a smokey base with a sweet leading edge. The texture is amazing, soft yet well cooked pieces of burger, crunchy pieces of bacon, firm yet cooked peppers & onions, all with the rice!
The pieces of burger could be swapped out for chicken, marinaded pieces of beef, or even some form of sea food!… Continue Reading
This is a public service rant, one with an impassioned cause. You’re welcome.
Don't get yer knickers off - this isn't going to be the popular view, and is going to contrast to a lot of conventional wisdom.
